and of course, brain injury

January 2016 Runner’s World Cover

Disclaimer: You can only buy the issue on stands if you come from a land down under!

Can you imagine my surprise when Glen, the fun Kiwi exchange student from high school (of course we are friends on “the book”) posted what appeared to be a Runner’s World bearing my semblance back in early December?

“Is this you again, Amanda?” he asked.

I’d recognize me anywhere! I knew the photo from my Chicago shoot last July, but it had been flipped (I am positive my hummingbird tattoo resides behind my heart where I keep my dearly departed Max-Nugget, behind my left shoulder) and the green patches of my Michi and Derek Lam for Athleta pieces were red. Two massive bruises had been airbrushed away, but yes it was me.

So what a pleasure to be on the cover of Runner’s World twice in four months. It makes it seem as though I fitness model full-time.
